Artists and WarriorsThey have said that art is resistance
They have claimed that to create and share ideas is magic
I say they are both right, but nearsighted

The meme is in our social organisms
It breathes
It must convince, indeed evince that mankind is not
a one-trick pony

If it is controversial
You will find me there
If it is sensational
You'll find my mouth against that teet
If it leaves a pothole in perceptions
You'll hear my weapons of war engage

I am an artist
I am a warrior
The world is my chosen field of battle

TogetherTogether we'll fly
and conquer all fear
as long as we're two
as long as you're here,

I will feel brave
If you're with me
as long as we're one
My happiness is free,

Together we're strong
alone we're weak
when one of us is absent
hope becomes meek,

One plus one equals us
minus you equals me
winning is futile
that's all that I see,

So stay here with me
don't ever leave
cause if I'm all that's left
my whole life I will grieve.

I now realizeI now realize that I am tangled
In a web that is made up of false fears.
Getting out of here will leave me crippled,
I may end up in a river of tears.
I fear I have angered all my close friends
Because I tend to be very clingy.
In the near future I must make amends,
Only they are able to rescue me.
Throughout my life my friends are far and few
Because I am no social butterfly.
It is hard for me to bid them adieu;
Without them, I feel insecure and shy.
I get tired of this pain I endure
Without my friends near me, there is no cure.

Color of the SkyThe sky is blue.
But not blue.

You look at me strangely,
Your face talking even
When your lips are still.

You don't understand that
The sky is
Cerulean.
Indigo.
Sapphire.
Azure.

And when the sun is being born
The sky is
Vermilion.
Cerise.
Salmon.
Wisteria.

You see, the sky is never blue.

All the Little AngelsThe sun seemed to flicker
And the moon seemed to dim
Leaving the darkness to thicken.

Tears formed a river
That reflected no stars
While the red apple went uneaten.

But through the shroud
That blankets the sodden earth
All the little angels started to dance.

Can you survive the rage?

With increased droughts
It scattering throughout
Causing kids to pout
For the water they can't live without

With the glaciers melting
an' animals relocating
an' people demanding
for something that's just a fling

with diseases spreading
an' fevers rising
an' malaria killing
cuz' of the mosquitos surviving

With a temperature intensification
And a climate alteration
In a world not meant for rapid moderation
But going through the motion

How will we survive this catastrophe
The monster changing the world more than we can see
Can you survive it, the disaster named global climate change?
Or will you be lost in its rage

White Orchid in a Bed of Roses

I'm a white orchid
In a field of rose
swaying yet clinging
when the wind of unwant blows,

I stick out in the crowd
but often am lost
my difference isn't desired
a needless cost,

I stay grounded where I am
while the others are picked
and each time one moves
my essence is pricked,

they don't want me either
they find me too plain
a valueless nothing
with no love to gain,

I'll wither eventually
but I have nothing to lose
my life has no worth to others
why would I force some one to choose?,

All people want
is beauty and grace
they don't want me
and my natural, plain face,

there once was a person
that came by and saw me
fi

.::Beyond These Fences::.A mother and her daughter walk down a ghetto street.
Her daughter was her world,
She wouldn't let anything crush her little dream.
"Stay close to me dear, there's nothing to fear, beyond these fences there are golden fields."
She looks to her daughter, she looks to her light,
She would not let anything harm her,
She'd protect her with her life.
She watches as a car goes speeding by,
She wishes her daughter had a better life,
But she knew that her daughter will one day fly,
Fly into the open skies.
A man comes out from within the shadows of the alleyway,
He says "I'm sorry things must be this way,"
He pulls a gun, she feels stunned,
She protec

Labor of LoveSwirling lines of lyrics
Dipped in exuberance
Held by captivation
Blinding with luminance

Rolling in my breath
Biting my lip
Touching my tongue—
But only by the tip

Enthralling me with fear
Instilling me with patience
Searching for a rhyme
Never-ending iterations

Labor of love
Passion in tenfold
Daring not to look back
As I cross the threshold

Dancing in the FlamesYou drove to my house,
Gathered your things,
Looked me in the eyes,
Told me you were sorry,
And set my room ablaze.

Promptly you left,
Without another word,
Not even goodbye,
Never looking back,
You left me to burn.

I feel the memories,
Licking my skin,
Blistering in pain.

My lungs struggle to breathe,
Inhaling the acrid smoke
Of a love gone wrong.

The tears sting my eyes
And I find myself lost
Unable to find the exit.

Searching,
I'm spinning and twirling
About the room,
Dancing amidst what was,
What could've been.

I don't wanna leave,
Because I don't wanna forget you.

Lady JusticeNo scream is heard with her lips sewn shut
No truth is seen because her eyes were cut
No justice is written for her hands are tied
No faith has she because her soul has died
As the world careens totally out of control
And people trade addictions for their soul
The collapse of morality becomes a torrid flood
As Lady Justice weeps tears of blood

For HerSkin so pale and so innocent; yet warm and soft.
Bright is her eyes, always lit by day or by night.
Her warm embrace; like a maiden of the heavens taking the late life of a man.
The way I feel with her, is a way I have so little felt;
Tis love! The bittersweet fruit that drives an able bodied person;
To the very end of their sanity or to their discovery of true happiness!
Oh god who art in heaven, why must I love!
For she the vile woman that fate has bestowed upon my desires;
Feels not the same as I.

For a man diesBreathe Slowly,
For a Man dies every second, locked in the grip of the sky.
Walk with every step in mind,
Every twitch of a finger,
Every sound, from your head to the ground,
Keep them in mind.
For a man dies every second, the beginning of an eternal dance with the one in the heavens.
Remember every follicle of hair,
Every eye that stares, every moment of fear,
An evil glare, remember it all.
For a man dies every second, and a child cries for his death.
Live today like you'll wither the next,
For we too, can be locked in the reaper's grip.

I WantI want to feel
the magic
the hope
the emotions
of sweet pure love

I want to feel
the warm embraces
the soft kisses
the beating of our hearts
all the promises of love

I want to see
the beauty
the sweetness
the happiness
of love

I want to see
the heart of my lover
the best and worst of love
the relationship last
all the time it should

It's not too much to ask

CryDon’t cry anymore
For the fighting is over
Except within us

Alright

I think I'm alright
I stutter, I shake
I can't sleep at night
But at least I'm awake

I'm doing alright
I mean, I'm not dropping out
They worked me to dust
But it's me they're about

I'm swimming in puddles
I'm dancing in dreams
I'm seeing in visions
That aren't what they seem

I think I'm alright
I stutter, I shake
I'm barely alive
But at least I'm awake

... meh, just a small peice of what's written so far of Cherry... I'm really happy with it, so... uh... I kind of felt like sharing ^^"
